This is a long overdue review. I just happened to be scrolling for a specific text and pulled up…read moreold text exchanges with Karen from my days in Atlanta. And realized I owe this fantastic person a review. A very long story short, in 2015 I found myself in temporary housing after a move back to Atlanta to start a new job. It was a very difficult situation with two rescue dogs that suffered from anxiety/separation issues. The day prior my daytime pet arrangements had fallen through. I also had work travel imminent. I was in a panic and massively stressed. The same day I called Karen, she showed up to meet me and the two pups. They took to her immediately, even my ultra scared/shy guy who shivered and shook around people. She confidentially handled them, kindly calmed my anxiety over the situation and had it under control. She could double as a therapist!!! The next day while I was at work all went totally fine with their walk. I even received text photos with details of how it went. The pups were happy, I was relieved of stress and life suddenly became simpler. For simplicity sake I've glossed over a very trying and rough time in life. But for Karen and her team it would not have turned out so well. With a world of gratitude and thanks, I HIGHLY recommend.

Since my first inquiry, 4 months ago, I have never waited longer than a few hours (it was 30 mins the first time) for a response. Mitchell and photography skills and Marcy who has something about her that makes my pup go nuts with happiness when he see's her has won me over! They communicate every step of the way (arrival, during, after), they are flexible when I do things like forget to leave the key....Marcy even cleaned up the mess when our puppy had an accident in the house! I have and will continue to recommend PupWalkr to everyone! They are competitively priced and offer the same services as other walkers but their customer service and staff is what sets them apart! Everyone in our complex speaks very highly of them and our baby West LOVES his daily walks! Go ahead and get the 20 pack, you will love it so you may as well save a little money :)

While we were away, she gave us updates the entire time with photos and took our energetic lab on long hikes. Our cat was given lots of head scratches and tummy rubs. We came home to a couple of chilled out, happy healthy babies. It's priceless to be able to depend on Buckhead Paws for a worry free get-away.

And when we came home, our cats seemed not to even notice we were gone. Thank you, Pack Leaders ATL!

In July 2026, our Highlander cat received excellent service from the groomer. In Sept 2026, a…read moredifferent groomer refused to groom our Highlander cat. We waited two weeks for the service because they had van problems. The groomer did not remove the cat from the carrier. He said he was too aggressive. The same cat that the July groomer said was perfectly behaved. I bought several cat clippers and a Happy Hoody from Amazon and groomed him in our bathroom. I suggest saving money and time by learning to groom your kitties. In my opinion, Pack Leaders are inexperienced cat groomers. In response to the owner, Saladin was sedated before Pack Leaders took him in. The groomer said that he never uses any Happy Hoodies or gloves when working with cats. I strongly believe Pack Leaders should hire experienced cat-only groomers because even a laid-back cat will bite if it is hurt or handled the wrong way. If one groomer had no issues and another had problems, then something is wrong with the business or staff.

Took their food and bowls but was told they provided bowls, so they gave me back my personal bowls. Wen I returned to picked them up and brought them home, both dogs started coughing. By the next day, their symptoms had become worse. I took them to the veterinarian, where they were diagnosed with Kennel Cough. I contacted Frogs to Dogs to inform them of the situation and was told someone would get back to me. Unfortunately, I have not received a phone call, text, or email addressing my concerns. I understand that kennel cough can sometimes occur even in vaccinated dogs and in boarding environments, but I am disappointed by the lack of communication and follow-up after reporting what happened. I expected better customer service and at least a response to discuss my concerns. P.Johnson[ Atlanta G.A]

I let them know I would look at a "plan" when I returned. I was then notified by American Express that I had been billed $543.41 by Fetch Pets .... not for the two walks I had asked for. I received no notice ... no explanation. They billed me for 20 walks. When I contacted them, they made no attempt to reconcile this. When I returned from travel I began to use the remaining 18 walks. By the end of the month I had used 10 walks. I was then billed again for another $543.41 and another 20 walks and they cancelled the remaining 10 walks from the first billing. I reached out to Shawn multiple times to reconcile this. I was ignored. I finally got resolution by filing a dispute with American Express against these charges. Beware!

We sent our dog to Spot for a few months earlier this year when we first moved to Decatur. We were…read moregrateful to have a convenient location right around the corner from my work and the prices seemed fair. My first impression of the place was walking in a being met with an overwhelming smell. We've been to other daycares and know this is not how it should smell. But, we figured our dog sniffs others' butts so maybe smell doesn't really bother her. Second impression was that the staff kinda seemed half-baked half the time but we figured hey, dog people aren't always people-people. We get it. They just seemed like minimal effort kind of people (we literally got a free stay one time because they had already shut the computer off before we picked her up and they didn't feel like turning it back on...we weren't even late). We never got any bad notes about our dog when we picked her up but we started noticing some things that caused a lot of concern and ultimately led us to pull her out. The first was one time when we came to pick her up, we could see her through the window of a small room that shared a wall with the entrance corridor. She was sitting by herself on the concrete floor, up against the glass just waiting for us to get her. There were a few other little dogs in the room (ours is about 45lbs) but there were no humans, no bedding, no toys, and there was mess everywhere. She was just sitting there looking bored to tears. Not ok. The second was another time we came to pick her up and brought her home. We kept smelling a weird smell and when we inspected her when we got home, we found she had dried urine *caked* on her elbow. There is absolutely no telling how long it had been there and no one bothered to clean her?? How dirty is your facility that there are just puddles lying around not being cleaned that our dog laid in? We brought it to their attention the next time we took her in and told them we did not want to see that again. We asked if they knew what happened, but they said they had no clue where it came from. We understand mess happens, it's a place full of animals. But it was very visible on her white arm. The least they could have done was clean it off for her/us. But they didn't even notice? Again, not ok! The final straw came when we picked her up a few times later and saw a puncture wound on her side when we got home. It had been bleeding and didn't look like anything was done to clean it (which is concerning given how dirty this place apparently is). Not to mention, NO ONE reached out to us that there had been an incident or said ANYTHING to us when we picked her up. Why? Because they had NO IDEA it had even happened!! This time we called them directly about it and asked what happened and they said they were completely unaware of a situation. Um, wtf?? So our dog gets punctured and you can't tell us the story? Like I said, half-baked! SO NOT OK!!! We never sent her back after that! We gave them a thousand chances despite our reservations and they just kept proving us right that we should have been hesitant from the start with that bad smell. TLDR: This place is filthy and they do not keep up with your dog. We recommend literally anywhere else! There are plenty of others to choose from in town.
